Keith and Stacie Groben
The Great Commission is the Church’s mission. There is no other mission.
Stacie was born into a pew and never left it. She grew up in West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania as the daughter of a Pentecostal evangelist and pastor.
In 1997, Stacie’s family moved to Phoenix, Arizona. There, at Phoenix First Assembly of God under Pastor Tommy Barnett, she witnessed on a massive scale the impact of outreach and evangelism done with excellence.
A fire was lit, and a mandate was birthed: give Jesus what He came for. Stacie answered that fire and attended Tommy Barnett’s Bible college alongside her soon-to-be husband, Keith.
For ten years together they led teams in Bus Ministry, Adopt-A-Block, and Sidewalk Sunday School. They were part of outreaches that met the physical needs of the community for the purpose of winning souls and directing them back to the house of God to be discipled. Thousands were ministered to every week, saved, and brought to church on buses.
Serving as inner-city youth pastors under the outreach ministry of Phoenix First, they led street teams for soul winning and hosted variety-night events that gathered the youth of the inner city for one purpose: to hear the gospel.
In 2008, Keith and Stacie began co-pastoring an Assemblies of God church in rural Ely, Nevada, and they brought that fire with them. For ten years the church reached the families of the city through a food ministry, countless outreaches, and healing services, and even carried the gospel regularly into the brothels in town.
Knowing there was more God wanted to train them in, Keith and Stacie moved with their four children to Tampa, Florida, in 2018 to join The River at Tampa Bay Church pastored by Rodney Howard-Browne. During these years, God called them to serve in Kingdom business.
Business itself was nothing new to them. Keith had freelanced for years and then run his own company, 3 Fold Media, while they pastored in Ely.
It was in Tampa where Stacie learned that when God gives you a business, its purpose is to fund the Kingdom and produce soul-winning results. During those years she served as Chief of Staff for a Kingdom-focused company, leading teams, creating profitable results, and producing large events in the corporate realm. The partnership between business and ministry was solidified in her.
Now new to the Mansfield area, Stacie and her family had been asking God to connect them with the people here who are actively winning souls. In the spring of 2026, an Instagram ad caught her attention: an invitation for businesspeople to gather around a gospel event coming that summer. It was the answer to that prayer.
One of Stacie’s core messages is that the body of Christ, every part of it, must work together to accomplish Jesus’ mission on earth. The mandate over Keith and Stacie’s life is simple: “The Great Commission is the Church’s mission. There is no other mission.” Stacie is so thankful to be part of that body of people, now in Ohio.
